Third 3D Printed VentilAid Ventilator Prototype Ready In Krakow
A 3D printer makes partes of the VentilAid Prototype III respirator, a device that can be manufactured cheaply and with widely available parts using a 3D printer. The project was created by Urbicum, a Krakow based company specializing in 3D printing. The first two versions were developed and made available for free on the Internet. VentilAid Prototype III is a device for non-invasive ventilation, operating in CEPAP and BiPAP mode with an oxygen supply and meets the requirements of modern medical standards. It allows to keep patients in a stable condition and/or improve the condition of a conscious patient who is not eligible to be put on a hospital respirator. On April 17, 2020, in Krakow, Poland.
